work
barbell standing overhead press - 75 6x6
buffalo bar bench - 95 - 6x7
bamboo bar - 50 - 3x20 (if you haven't used one, the thing is unstable as crap! The weights dangle down from the bar using bands. The whole point is to work on your stabilizer muscles and keeping your body tight)

Just wanted to stop by and let y'all know I'm still alive! I've still been training this week but its my mini deload time so everything has been cut in half and I figured it wasnt really worth logging here since it's pretty much what i've been doing for the past 3 weeks except the cut . Sooooo , i have one more deload workout tomorrow and then Sunday starts the meet cycle where some things will be switched around a bit and whatnot. I'll post again then but just wanted to let ya know what was up . Hope everyone had a nice holiday!

I did a lot a lot of abs today .. cant really remember everything since it wasnt exactly planned but i had the time so it included 2 min planks , 1min side planks, 1 min leg raises, sits ups with a 25lb plate , and this morning i was really bored so i did the stupid p90x ab ripper just for the heck of it lol . Productive day, and it's only gonna get harder each week from here on out .

Benching went pretty nice and easy today , just cant wait to move up each week . Each session is a stepping stone to where I wanna be at when April comes around and it's game time. I now train on Mon,wed, fri ,sun now due to mt class schedule next semester being a bit brutal. I'm doing pretty great at not drinking soda , and I've been drinking a gallon of water each day for about 3 days now i guess. Just wanted to see if there is any effects of it . I am also carb backloading , just trying to gain lean muscle mass while losing fat and staying around the same weight if I can while getting stronger. I'll keep y'all posted on that stuff . Anyway, here was tonight's workout.
